In 2008 the IBM corporation announced purchase of the Platform Solutions company which is based in California.
Platform Solutions company specializes in development of technologies for mainframes and the systems of a corporate class. Before it was announced the conclusion of the transaction on merge, IBM and Platform Solutions sorted out the relations with each other in court. The matter is that some time ago the IBM corporation accused Platform Solutions of illegal use of the patented technologies concerning mainframes. Platform Solutions, in turn, answered with the counter action, having stated that IBM interferes with innovations in the field of information technologies, refusing to license the developments by another by the companies.
Trial between IBM and Platform Solutions is complete. Under the terms of the signed agreement, personnel, assets and all intellectual property of Platform Solutions passed to one of structural divisions of the IBM Systems and Technology Group group. Financial terms of transaction do not reveal.
